there is a bill in the house, H.R. 5843. it was sponsored by
Rep. Barney Frank [D-MA]. it's goal is to "To eliminate most Federal penalties for possession of marijuana for personal use, and for other purposes."

you can follow it here. so far it has only been introduced. apparently state laws will directly conflict with this bill if voted and signed into law. but from what i've read it could be used by the states as a sort of ok that the federal government is fine with this, so you should be too. who knows what will happen? but what i wonder is how and the hell state and federal laws conflict. what a joke.
